Overview
- Salta’s court found Marina Tondini de Jiménez, 74, guilty and imposed a 10-year sentence for the sexual abuse of her grandson.
- Her defense has appealed, and Ballet Salta said the verdict is not final, so she remains free while the case is reviewed.
- Judges must still determine whether any eventual sentence will be served in prison or under house arrest given her age and health.
- The victim testified the abuse began when he was 10 and continued for years under threats, and he described the ruling as a personal relief.
- His father, Aníbal Jiménez, who brought the complaint, confirmed the decision and said “Se hizo justicia,” as the dance community confronts the fallout.
